How to maximize compatibility with WPTools4?

Hello,
how can I maximize WPTools5 compatibility with WPTools4?
The default line height/spacing is calculated differently in each version.
I've tried wpNoMinimumCellPadding, wpDontBreakTables, wpDontBreakTableRows, wpDontUseBorderPadding, but there is still a relatively big difference in the rendering.

Thanks.

Hi,

One thing that I noted different between version 4 and 5 about how the text flow was the Space Before in paragraphs. I posted that to Julian in 2006 and he created a FormatOptionsExoption, called wpDontIgnoreSpacebeforeOnTopOfPage. When I'm loading a RTF file created with WPTools4, I apply this to my WPRichText and the text becomes 'just like before'.

I do this:

oWPRichText.Memo.RTFData.FormatOptionsEx :=
    oWPRichText.Memo.RTFData.FormatOptionsEx + [wpDontIgnoreSpacebeforeOnTopOfPage];
  oWPRichText.Memo.RTFData.UpdateReformatMode(True);

Maybe it could help you

ps. WPTools 5 was made more 'MSWord compatible' in this feature

thank you
however, this did not help.
There's a slight difference between the line heights in WPT4 and WPT5 and this causes a rather large difference at the bottom of the page.

any other sugestions?

Hi,

Could you link the RTF file and printscreens from both versions to compare? Maybe it is not just the line height that influences the difference.

here you go: [](http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3d6559e4292c2d4cd2db6fb9a8902bda)

the archive contains the RTF, 2 screenshots (from our application which uses TWPRichText, one with WPTools 4, the other with WPTools 5) and 2 PDF files, created with PDFCreator virtual printer from within the application.

hope this will do.

thank you.
